After reading all the comments my eyes burn... dang computer screen. Anyways... all of you have very valid oppinions, and all speak them wonderfully. I would just like to state that what happened, happened.
I agree that there's more to this than the people lost, but you can't begin to forget them, or the people that were lost trying to save others. You can't forget about the small stories, the people who held the elevator, gave up their spot, helped others, ect. Many people died, they died with honor.
Next is the towers. They no longer stand. They can't be brought back. They stood for our country's ability to grow, and to rise above others, our freedom. To each person, they ment something. They were torn from the lives of people, just as family members and friends were torn from others.
It's true that people die every day, and honestly I'm sick of people 'honoring' the lives of those who died at 9/11. Why, as a whole, do people only honor the lives of those who died in some great tragedy? Sadly, it is because the person's life ended on a marking point. Every day some person dies as a hero, and that person's story goes untold. It's a disgrace. I say we instead take this day to honor ALL lives that have been lost to a kind or considerate cause. And yes, to also remember the WTC, which was also taken. All differences aside. Please, just... let's not argue this, let the topic rest in peace, unless you have something to add that shouldn't offend someone. And if what I've said has offended anyone (which I cannot begin to comprehend why) I am truely sorry.
May everyone have a great life, great luck, and may all of you take pride in what you have.
